JACKSONVILLE Vol. 2 SENTINE Jacksonville, JacKson County, Oregon, Friday, March IO, 1905. THE COUNTY NEWS Short Paragraphs Regarding Doings throughout the Length and Breadth of Jackson County as We Succeed In Capturing them. Henry Kubli one of the leading stock men of the Applegate valley, was in town several days lust week. He states that things are looking mighty fine in that favored portion of the country this spring and that cattle are coming through the winter fat enough for the beef mar ket. He was unfortunate last week to lose a good cow which fell off an etn- bankment on the Blue Ixdge road, a distance of twenty feet, and broke her back.

The grand ojiening of Hutton & Co.'s new saloon, at Medford, took place Tues day evening and a number of Billy’s friends from this place were present. Steam rolled barley and barley steam rolled at Chris Ulrich’s. Barley steam rolled any day you bring a ton at fl .50 a ton. Also bran, flour, corn, corn meal and graham. The new saloon to lie opened on North 1> street by Hutton & Co. will probably lie rea<ly for business bv Saturday says the Medford Mail. The interior has beenntted up in fine style ami will be one of the handsomest barrooms in Southern Oregon. John McAllister of New Hope has lieen employed at the Powell’s creek sawmill at Provolt says the Rogue River Courier. The company has been sawing out timbers for the old Wimer mine at Murphy, which has recently started up to develop the ledge which was discover ed February 24, 30 years ago and was worked up till September 15, 1881, and then was abandoned till last fall. It is equipped with good machinery and will probably prove to lie one among the valuable quartz mines of Southern Ore gon in the near future. Geo. F. King and Mr. Gard were in the Trail Creek section last week and made another search for Wm. King, who mysteriously disappeard nearly three months ago says the Southern Oregonian. They were no more successful than those who looked for the unfortunate man l»efore. What fate has befallen him may never tie known. Frank Hammond, who lives in that neighborhood, passed by King's cabin Dec. 27th, while hunt ing, and saw smoke rising from the chimney, which was probably the last time his whereabouts were known. 1905 SPRING OPENING Men’s Summer Wool Suits, $7.50 to $10.00.

Road work in Jackson county has been an important subject for many years and will continue to be of the utmost import ance for many years to come. Perhaps things never looked more promising in the county’s history for “good roads” than they do at the present time and the next few years will see a world of im provement along this line as the county has made provision to get right into the work with improved machinery and ex perienced men in charge.. The work will be taken up at once with the road making machine putting on the finishing touches to a portion of the road soutl? of Talent upon which work was commenced last fall. After this is completed work will doubtless be commenced on the sticky road between Mrs. Roberts’ and Frank Peil’s places, a distance of about three miles, there being enough crushed rock on hand to cover this road in good shape, provided the farmers of that local ity show enough public spirit to turn out with their teams and do the required hauling. The principal drawback to the building of many needed roads in the county is the remoteness of good rock from that locality although it is most abundant in other localities. City Election Tuesday. The city election passed off very quiet ly in Jacksonville, Tuesday, although there was quite an interest taken in the result and a very good vote was polled. The only matter in doubt was the result on Marshal on which the interest cen tered, there being a three-cornered fight over the office. The polls were opened at 10:00 o'clock and closed at 3:00. G. N. Lewis was chairman of the election board, S. P. DeRoboam and J. B. Wetterer clerksand J. H. Huffer, Sr. and Frank Kassahfer judges of election. The vote on trustees resulted as fol lows: J. S. Orth 109, E. Britt 107, J. H. Will iamson 104, T. Cameron 103 and C. P. Briggs 98. Henry Dox was elected recorder by 112 votes having no opposition. James Cronemiller was elected treas urer receiving 118 votes, the highest number polled for any man for any office. Henry Wendt had no opposition for street commissioner and received 91 votes.
